Hetionet: an integrative network of disease
An integrative hetnet (heterogeneous network) encoding biomedical knowledge for drug repurposing and discovery.
What is Hetionet: an integrative network of disease?
Hetionet is a heterogeneous network (hetnet) that integrates multiple types of biomedical entities and their relationships into a single, structured knowledge graph. It connects genes, diseases, drugs, pathways, and other biological concepts to enable computational exploration and hypothesis generation, specifically for drug repurposing and understanding therapeutic mechanisms.
Bioinformaticians, computational biologists, and researchers in drug discovery who need a pre-integrated, large-scale knowledge graph for network analysis, machine learning, or hypothesis testing in biomedical domains.
It provides a unique, publicly available integrative network that combines diverse data sources with clear metadata and multiple export formats, facilitating reproducible research without the need for manual data integration.
